Hmm, I've never been a big fan of the wheelie. I first tried on my VFR 800. Got to about 15 mph, backed off on the throttle and then gave it a handful. Boy she came up quick and I nearly flipped it as it all happened so fast. The front came crashing to the ground and then I just thought bugger this! It will cost me too much to repair if I keep doing it. Now power wheelies are ace. Did a few on the Ninja over some crests and it was all smooth and lovely. Also having a mental pillion on the back helps! I've had the SV's front go light but that's about it!

News shocker!

From The Daily Blarb.

Motocycle Lawman becomes wheelie fiend.

It's all too easy to loft the 'tona. A gentle upwards tug on the bars whilst giving it modest clout in 1st is all it takes.

S'easy lardy....I mean Ward.....just position ones butt over the pillion seat and you'll find it will wheelie no bother.

Of course I'm in postion to say this being a svelte, Kate Moss like 14st 10 !!!
